This is not technically true but may be practically true, my google search
was not conclusive.

It looks like Blender has a build time option to dynamically load (i.e.,
dlopen) the cuda library but the first link was from 2018 and said that it
crashed blender. I would hope this has been fixed by now but I didn't look
any further.

Searching the blender spec file[1] I don't see any reference to the
dynaload option but I'm not sure if it's on or off by default.

Thanks,
Richard
